Abstract: This surface treating device 10 is used, for example, in a process for the production of
printed wiring boards. In this surface treating device 10, the processing liquid is spouted through
a multiplicity of oppositely positioned spray nozzles 11 against the discrete printed wiring board
materials 2 being sequentially conveyed in a horizontal posture by the conveying rollers 14 of the
conveyor 13. The spray nozzles 11 are positioned opposite the longitudinally adjacent intervals
16 in the conveying rollers 14 and, at the same time, pointed toward the direction of left or the
direction of right of the direction of width B and fixed at an angle of spouting G obliquely
inclined from the horizon. The spray nozzles 11 pointed toward the direction of left and the
spray nozzles 11 pointed toward the direction of right have substantially equal totals throughout
the entire device.

Abstract: A touch panel is constructed of a top sheet member having
a resistive membrane on its inner surface and a base sheet
member having a resistive membrane on its inner surface, the
top and base sheet members facing each other with dot spacers
being located in between. The top sheet member is formed by
laminating a bulge-resistant film, a polarizing plate, a
quarter wavelength plate, and a light isotropic film in this
order from above. The base sheet member is constructed of a
glass sheet and a reinforcement film whose thermal linear
expansion coefficient is almost the same as the thermal linear
expansion coefficient of the polarizing plate or the quarter
wavelength plate included in the top sheet member, the
reinforcement film being adhered to the lower surface of the

Abstract: A method of obtaining a mixture of cells enriched in hepatic progenitors is developed which comprises methods yielding suspensions of a mixture of cell types, and selecting those cells that are classical MHC class I antigen(s) negative and ICAM-1 antigen positive. The weak or dull expression of nonclassical MHC class I antigen(s) can be used for further enrichment of hepatic progenitors. Furthermore, the progenitors can be selected to have a level of side scatter a measure of granularity or cytoplasmic droplets, that is higher than that in non-parenchymal cells, such as hemopoietic cells, and lower than that in mature parenchymal cells, such as hepatocytes. Furthermore, the progeny of the isolated progenitors can express alpha-fetoprotein and/or albumin and/or CK19. The hepatic progenitors, so isolated, can grow clonally, that is an entire population of progeny can be derived from one cell. The clones of progenitors have a growth pattern in culture of piled-up aggregates or clusters. These methods of isolating the hepatic progenitors are applicable to any vertebrates including human. The hepatic progenitor cell population is expected to be useful for cell therapies, for bioartificial livers, for gene therapies, for vaccine development, and for myriad toxicological, pharmacological, and pharmaceutical programs and investigations.

Abstract: A system and method in a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network for interfacing a Base Station System (BSS(11)) and a Serving GPRS Support Node (SGSN(12)). A protocol stack in the BSS and the SGSN includes a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) layer over an Internet Protocol (IP) layer. Data packets are transmitted between functional entities in the SGSN and the BSS over a connectionless IP network. The protocol stack includes a Base Station System GPRS Protocol (BSSGP) protocol layer that provides radio-related, Quality-of-Service (QoS), and routing information that is required to transmit user data between the BSS and the SGSN. The stack also includes a modified Network Services (NS') layer which is divided into an upper NS'-Network Service Control (NS'-NSC) sub-layer and a lower NS'-Sub-Network Service (NS'-SNS) sub-layer. The NS'-NSC sub-layer maps to the BSSGP layer and manages functional entities therein. The NS'-SNS sub-layer maps to the UDP and IP layers and provides access to the IP network. A single UDP port is reserved to make the NS layer and the BSSGP layer act as an application over the IP stack.

Abstract: Link robustness, chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD)
immunity can be improved in fiber optical system by using a method for receiving an optical
double sideband signal over an optical fiber system, comprising the steps of splitting the
received optical double sideband signal into an upper sideband signal and a lower sideband
signal, photodetecting the upper sideband and the lower sideband, equalizing the
photodetected upper sideband signal and the lower sideband signal, and combining the
equalized upper sideband signal with the equalized lower sideband signal. While PMD
compensation is envisioned as a major application, one may also use the method and system
for chromatic dispersion compensation or dispersion slope compensation inhigh bit rate
systems, i.e. using dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) for coarse compensation and
diversity receiver with electrical equalizer for fine tuning.

Abstract: A video display device, such as a television, having a picture-in-picture (PIP) display and a processor. The processor detects cues, such as color/texture/events/behaviors, etc., present in a primary display image, that is overlaid by the PIP. These cues are utilized by the processor to determine important and relatively unimportant portions of the primary display image. The processor then determines whether a change in a display characteristic of the PIP leads to the PIP obscuring less of an important portion of the primary display image, and if so, the processor changes the display characteristic of the PIP. Display characteristics of the PIP that may be changed by the processor include the PIP position, size, and transparency. The processor may also utilize a combination of the detected cues to determine important and relatively unimportant portions of the primary display image. The processor may also change combinations of display characteristics of the PIP.
